The 2017 Brew and Art Festival was a success thanks to the combined efforts of Curry Arts and Soroptimist International of Gold Beach. The two community groups combined forces as more than 100 volunteers performed, served and displayed original art for beer and art lovers who packed the Event Center on Saturday, Sept. 9.

Curry Arts’ Brew & Art Festival proceeds go directly into the art classrooms of Gold Beach and a portion funds scholarships. The instructional donations are made to a “290 Fund” that is managed by the classroom teacher and used to purchase art supplies. The donations cannot be used to replace school funding that is diverted for other purposes.
